NEW UPGRADED SU-27SK TO BE SHOWN FOR FIRST TIME AT AIR SHOW IN CHINA

MOSCOW, October 29 (RIA Novosti’s Olga Semyonova) – The Sukhoi aviation holding company will for the first time put on display its new upgraded Su-27SK fighter at the fifth international Airshow China-2004 at Zhuhai in China, Alexander Smelyakov, head of the public and media relations service of Rosoboronexport, told RIA Novosti on Friday.

“Sukhoi will for the first time display at the Zhuhai air show its upgraded single-seater multi-role Su-27SK fighter whose characteristics are those of the 4 plus generation and ensure hitting with high precision weapons not only aerial, but also all ground and naval targets,” the agency’s source said.

Mr. Smelyakov noted that in specialist view “this combat aircraft has high maneuverability and the world’s best flying characteristics.” He said Russian exhibits at Airshow China-2004 were chosen with a view to emerging world tendencies in military matters and also in line with the basic requirements of armed forces in the Asian continent. Mr. Smelyakov pointed out that apart from the new Su-27SK the Sukhoi family would also be represented at the show by the Su-30MK fighter, the Su-39 multi-role strike plane, and the Su-32 fighter-bomber.

“Other well-known Russian aircraft-making firms are showing no less interesting export products. The MiG corporation, for example, will demonstrate the scope of the MiG-31E interceptor-fighter,” said the Rosoboronexport spokesman. He said that visitors to the show will be able to familiarize themselves with the high performance characteristics of the Yak-150 combat training plane, the Il-76MF strategic military transport and the Pchela-1 remotely-controlled aerial vehicle.

hiya pirate….
do you have a link to a downloadable version of the above video ??

take at this site http://www.pirate.per.sg/

here you can download/see the sindex 04 excersice, just planes taking off etc.

Some more pics of the indo sino jets (SINDEX 04 )

The follow up of that discussion (coppied from PDF),PLA its from the same guy who claimed to work on the J-10, isnt it :rolleyes:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

1. any redesign of the intake to improve manuverability?

yes improve manuverability.

—————————————————————————————————————-

2. any addition of conformal fuel tanks for added range, a major need of the plaaf

plaaf very satisfied with it`s range.

—————————————————————————————————————-

3. is the breaking of the tail rudder problem resolved?

has already resolved.
recently some J-10A (use AL-31fn) have equiped plaaf front-line AF troop , j-10a has flew in the sky at Taiwan channel .

4. how is sd-10 development with the j-10 comming along?

sd-10 will become the major weapon for j-10a

—————————————————————————————————————-

5. …………………………………………what is the planned indigenous radar of the j-10? …………………………

the long planned will install AESA radar for j-10 ,but T/R module was too expensive producted by ourself . A T/R module cost more than 30000 RMB , if a AESA radar have 900 T/R modules it will cost at least 900*30000 RMB toooooo expensive. the DSP algorithm is not the problem, but the cost of T/R module is big problem.
AESA radar for j-10 is long planned.

7. how were some of these things tested as you claim 10g’s were attained while 7g’s are acceptable

Maximum instantaneous G-limits: 10G/-3.0G
Maximum sustained G-limits: 7G/-3.0G

J-10A can turn rate: > 31 degrees/second with sustained state, in this fly mode overload get 10g, but J-10A in this fly mode can not keep it`s speeds , the speeds reduce very fast. when the speeds under the 0.51 Mach in this fly mode J-10A will lose it`s control. ( when the speeds bigger than 0.51 Mach the control is very manuverability ). so this fly mode is the only Maximum instantaneous turn rate: > 31 degrees/second and Maximum instantaneous G-limits: 10G/-3.0G at the speeds larger than 0.5 Mach.

J-10A Maximum sustained turn rate: > 22 degrees/second with sustained state, in this fly mode overload get 7g , but J-10A in this fly mode can keep it`s speeds when the speeds at 0.51 Mach J-10A can add it`s speeds even the overload get 7g , the pilots needn`t consider the speeds maybe under the control speeds. some pilots very surprised find that when they turn rate get 22 degrees/second the J-10A can still add it`s speeds rapidly.

8. if the tvc engine is ready to be fielded in 2006 for testing, at what stage of development is it at now?

tvc engine for testing early than 2006.
